The words “healthy” and “pie” may sound at odds in a sentence together, but we promise, this healthy pumpkin pie recipe actually works.<\/em> This is still a pie that contains some sugar, but with a few clever ingredient swaps, you’ll be nibbling on a healthier version of your favorite fall treat in no time.<\/p>\n So, how exactly is this pumpkin pie healthier? Slightly different than our traditional pumpkin pie<\/a>, this healthy pumpkin pie recipe tones it down on the calories (and saturated fat!) by switching the fat in the crust. The filling is also different, using fewer eggs and less sugar and relying more on the canned pumpkin for the pie’s texture. The filling also uses fat-free evaporated milk instead of regular or even sweetened condensed milk for a more custard-like filling.<\/p>\n With these swaps, a healthier pumpkin pie can be made, without sacrificing the flavor you love. Here’s our step-by-step process on how to make it.<\/p>\n In a small bowl, mix together the flour, sugar and salt. Using a fork, stir in the oil and butter until the dough has a crumbly consistency. Once the oil and butter have been thoroughly incorporated, gradually add in the water until the dough holds together. If it’s still dry after 2 tablespoons, add a third.<\/p>\n Lay out a sheet of waxed paper on a clean counter. Shape the pie dough into a round disk, and place it on the waxed paper. Top the dough with another sheet of waxed paper, then roll it out with a rolling pin into an 11-inch circle. Once you have the shape of your crust, place the crust (still between waxed paper) in the freezer for 10 minutes to chill.<\/p>\n At this point, it’s time to get the oven ready. Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0F. After the initial chilling in the freezer, remove the top sheet of the waxed paper from the pie crust. Lift the bottom sheet of waxed paper, and invert the crust into a 9-inch pie plate. Remove the remaining waxed paper. Fit the crust into the pie plate. Trim the edges of the crust so it hits the edge, and flute the edges<\/a> of the crust by making divots with your fingers.<\/p>\n Once the pie crust is prepped, plate it in the fridge to chill while you prep the rest of your pie.<\/p>\n Lay down the waxed paper again, and roll out the dough scraps to 1\/8-inch thickness. Cut the pieces using a 1-inch leaf-shaped cookie cutter. Place the pie crust shapes on an ungreased baking sheet<\/a>. Bake for six to eight minutes or until the edges of the pieces are very lightly browned. Cool them on a wire rack as you start to prepare the filling.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip: <\/em>Keep the oven at 375\u00b0 so it’s ready to bake the pie!<\/p>\n In a large bowl, beat the egg, egg white, brown sugar, sugar, salt, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg and cloves together until smooth. Beat in the canned pumpkin. Gradually add in the milk as you beat the pumpkin pie mixture together.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> Not sure which canned pumpkin is the best for your healthy pumpkin pie? We tested the best canned pumpkin<\/a> brands so you don’t have to!<\/p>\n Pour the pie filling into the chilled crust, then bake for 45 to 50 minutes. You’ll know the pie is done when you can insert a knife in the center and it comes out clean.<\/p>\n Cool the pie on a wire rack. Garnish with any crust decorations you’ve made. Then you’re ready to slice and serve!<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip: <\/em>Don’t forget to top it with whipped cream. Or, if you’re feeling extra ambitious, why not make your own bourbon whipped cream<\/a>?<\/p>\n Looking to make your healthy pumpkin pie even healthier? Try a few of these tasty tips!<\/p>\n Pumpkin pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days after baking, and three days before baking too. Either way, don’t keep it out at room temperature for too long at any point. The custard filling contains eggs, and you don’t want to risk bacteria buildup.<\/p>\n To prevent pie cracking, make sure to not overbake your pie filling. When you take it out of the oven, there should still be a slight jiggle at the center of the pie. Also, make sure to allow the pumpkin pie to rest and cool at room temperature\u2014not in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n To prevent a soggy crust, make sure to bake the pie on the lowest oven rack. Or, blind bake the crust first! Even when a recipe doesn’t call for blind baking, feel free to do it anyway to ensure a crispy crust. Follow our guide on how to blind bake<\/a> as you go.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Nothing says Thanksgiving like a slice of pie.

How can you keep your pumpkin pie from cracking?<\/h3>To prevent pie cracking, make sure to not overbake your pie filling\u2014when you take it out of the oven, there should still be a slight jiggle at the center of the pie.

How do you store pumpkin pie?<\/h3>Pumpkin pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days after baking, and 3 days before baking, too.

What are some substitutions you can make in this pumpkin pie recipe?<\/h3>You can use fresh pumpkin puree instead of canned pumpkin if you want, but know that the texture and flavor will differ from a traditional pie.

How do you keep the crust from getting soggy in this pumpkin pie recipe?<\/h3>To prevent a soggy crust, make sure to bake the pie on the lowest oven rack. Or, blind bake the crust first!

How can you keep pumpkin pie from cracking?<\/h3>To prevent pie cracking, make sure to not overbake the pie filling\u2014when you take it out of the oven, there should still be a slight jiggle at the center of the pie. Also, make sure to allow the pumpkin pie to rest and cool at room temperature\u2014not in the refrigerator.
How do you store pumpkin pie?<\/h3>Pumpkin pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days after baking, and 3 days before baking too.
